Agreed. After all, that is the equivalent rate for all work done in the commons, on free software for example. Zero dollars earned, but somehow the incentive is still there. Money is not the only thing that motivates human beings.

Sure this works for creative endeavors. Now what would motivate someone to pick fruit in the summer Sun? Or clean toilets in a corporate office?

Sure you could say, "there are some people who just enjoy picking fruit." But are there enough people to satisfy the demand? And even if there are, what do you do with them as that demand decreases? The people who love picking fruit will have to clean toilets.
